The Auckland Maths Association invited me to present on how Digital Technology can be linked through to the NZ Maths Curriculum. We unpacked the jargon - decomposition, algorithmic thinking, debugging and pattern recognition and what we found was the foundations of the computational thinking can be deeply and authentically integrated into the fundamentals of a number of maths strands and areas. Spreading the love of integration and blended learning.
For mastering multiplication, especially up to the multiplication chart 1-100, having visual aids and practice tools is key. Online platforms often provide free printable charts that kids can use for reference, as well as interactive games and exercises. These resources can cater to different learning styles and make the process of memorizing times tables more dynamic. The combination of visual charts, practice opportunities, and gamified learning can significantly boost a child's understanding and recall of multiplication facts, setting a strong foundation for future math success.
